Simone Biles opens up about 'weird' Packers-Chiefs experience with Taylor Swift in attendance: "This is not my gig"
Simone Biles and Taylor Swift are no strangers to performing in front of crowds. However, Biles felt weird at the Packers-Chiefs showdown in early December. Speaking to Vanity Fair, she shared her experience sitting in the same venue as Taylor Swift. Here's how she put it:
“It’s a little bit weird because I’m like, this is definitely not my gig, but I know how excited [the fans] are. There was no selfie, and I’m not sure they were exactly happy that the Packers were beating them.”
Biles also said that fans held signs with her face plastered on them.
